In 2006, several years before innovation became the buzz word across the world, the EuroMed Innovation and Technology Programme (Medlbtikar) was making waves across the MEDA region. This three year, €7.24 million programme successfully offered the Mediterranean Partner Countries (MPCs) new and improved instruments to stimulate innovation. It also encouraged networking between the MPCs and the European Union.

The world of archaeology has changed considerably since the days when wealthy enthusiasts such as Heinrich Schliemann excavated the site he believed was ancient Troy while Arthur Evans unearthed the spectacular Minoan palace of Knossos in Crete. While the shovel and the trowel are still important tools for finding ancient structures and artefacts, many of the exciting discoveries and breakthroughs are today being made in laboratories - a long way from the ancient remains.

A new EU strategy for international cooperation in research and innovation was unveiled recently. The EU accounts for just 7 % of the world population, but it is responsible for 24 % of world expenditure on research, 32 % of high-impact publications and 32 % of patent applications. So international cooperation is seen as a vital step forward in homing in on opportunities and further development.

Showcasing the most exciting areas in research and innovation in Europe is the premise behind the 'Destination Europe' events, which take place several times a year. The events help researchers from around the world discover the opportunities available for working in Europe, why Europe is an ideal place for career development and the funding opportunities for scientists. Likewise, they provide a unique insight into what European countries are doing with regards to innovation transfer.

We are in Domaine Neferis, one of Tunisia's most famous wineries. This 460 hectare vineyard is located in a green and prosperous area of the country where agriculture is the main industry. Making the perfect wine is an arduous process at the best of times. It demands a lot of sun, good soil, water and cold temperatures. But how do you install an environmentally friendly and sustainable cooling system in a country so warm?

Peacekeepers or mercenaries? As international relations become increasingly complex, the definition and role of private security contractors dealing with humanitarian crises and conflicts is blurring. European research shines a bright light into this "black hole" of human rights and humanitarian law.

Desertification continues to present a serious problem in many areas of Tunisia, contributing to water scarcity, lack of food production, and a steady exodus of people from rural communities to the cities. In a bid to reinvigorate arid arable land, the Biodesert project is researching the use of microbial biotechnology to solve agricultural problems in desert environments.

The vast majority of Egypt’s power is currently provided by natural gas-fired power stations. Recently however, the country’s government has pledged to generate 20% of its power from renewable sources by 2020 (12% from grid-connected wind turbines and 8% from hydro, solar and other renewables). This implies adding a capacity of about 7000 MW of wind and approximately 1000 MW of solar power technologies.
